Common Uses

Mild steel box section is widely used for gates, railings, fencing, structural frames, support posts, shelving, trailers, balustrades, agricultural buildings, workshop fabrication and general construction. Its equal sides and hollow profile give strength and rigidity while being easier to handle and fabricate than solid bar.

Box Section vs Rectangular Hollow Section

Square box section (SHS) has equal sides and is the most popular profile for general frames, gates and fabrication. Rectangular hollow section (RHS) has unequal sides, offering greater strength in one direction for beams and load-bearing spans. Choose box section for even strength and general framework.

Finish and Protection

Supplied in standard mill finish. The surface may show normal mill scale, handling marks or light surface oxidation, typical for untreated steel. For outdoor or moisture-exposed use, clean, prime and protect with a suitable paint or coating system.

Cutting and Fabrication

S235 box section can be cut, drilled, welded and fabricated using suitable metalworking tools. Cut ends and drilled holes should be protected if used outside or in damp conditions. Always use suitable protective equipment when working steel.

Delivery Information

Lead times are currently 3-5 working days. Delivery is kerbside only and our vehicles do not carry HIAB or lifting equipment - steel must be safely offloaded by the customer on arrival. Sections are supplied in full 7.5m lengths, so suitable delivery access is required.
